Woodstock-festivalen

The woodstock-festival was arranged for the first time in August 1969. It was expected 200 000 spectators, but 500 000 appeared. The festival is more known as «Three days with peace, music and love.»
32 artists and groups performed during one weekend. The festival is known as one of the most historic moments inside pop-music. The enormous crowd made a lot of chaos, and the traffic came to a halt. When the crowd consists of 500 000 people, it couldn’t go painless. Two people died. One of them died of a heroin-overdose, and the other one died in a sleeping bag when he was run over by a tractor.
